that's awesome. Wish I could do something like this!

yep, thats me. I had a mold made, but it had some SERIOUS issues. I didn't get my master back as it was destroyed in the molding process. I set out with a decent cast from the mold to try and correct some flaws that I found. It is in storage with the rest of my collection

damn it maybe one day... lol

If I only had the $$. I found someone not too long ago who could CNC them for me for about that price

Its on sale for 499$ right now. You could make all the wheels you could possibly want.

Very nice work man. I really wish I had the patience to do something like that.

Are you the guy that made the custom Fox body Coupe model? if yes did you ever make the copies?

[black2002ls]

Thanks for all of the compliments. There are times I really wish I had the time to finish this thing. A lot that I would love to do to it still. Maybe one day

I wish I had talent like this

The smaller scale stuff, 1:24th which is the size I could get your GTO in, would go for a couple of hundred.

The reason the wheels cost so much is because they would be one off machined pieces. The aftermarket is non existent for these large scale models. I've always wanted some hobby size machine tools, but haven't been able to afford them.

Then, once I get the wheels done, I will have to make the tires from sheet styrene and styrene stock. Then make a mold and cast them in rubber.....

[2165 Turbo Rail]

wow... that's crazy that the wheels would cost that much... trust me I 'm not knocking how much you would want.. but I personally couldn't pay that much for one... even though it would be SUPER cool

[Mike]

haha.. probably not

Your loss!

My supplier only has the black molds in stock anyway.

[black2002ls]

Well, they don't make a GTO model this size. One reason it would be so expensive is because of the number of one off parts. The wheels alone, if I can ever get them done, are going to cost between $250 and $500.

[2165 Turbo Rail]

haha.. probably not

DAMN IT!... it would be bad ass to have one of the GTO but I'm not gonna lie... I wouldn't pay more then 500 for one... I know its not near what you would ask probably but still

how about a cake that looks like the GTO

Would you settle for a Clone-A-Willy and some cookies from Subway?
